Kimi K3 is the world's first open 3T-class model — frontier performance across coding, knowledge work, and reasoning, with native multimodality and 1M context.
While its overall performance still trails the most powerful proprietary models, Claude Fable 5 and GPT 5.6 Sol, Kimi K3 demonstrated frontier-level performance across our evaluation suite, consistently outperforming other tested models.
K3 is @Kimi’s 2.8T-parameter MoE model with 1M context and native multimodality.
It is built for long-horizon coding and knowledge work, and the results already put it directly into the frontier-model conversation. K3 can work across large repositories, use vision while iterating on games and frontend work, and keep going through much longer agent runs with limited supervision.
And the landscape may look very different after that..!

Who hunted Kimi K3?
Kimi K3 was hunted by Zac Zuo. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it. Hunters typically write the first comment explaining why a product is worth attention, and their followers are notified the moment they post. Around 79% of featured launches on Product Hunt are self-hunted by their makers, but a well-known hunter still acts as a signal of quality to the rest of the community.
